Study of the human head 1890

Jozef Hanula's 1890 oil painting, "Study of the human head," showcases a realistic depiction of a man's face. The subject is depicted in a reclined position, with his eyes closed, suggesting a moment of rest or introspection. The muted tones of the background, dominated by greens and browns, create a sense of intimacy and focus attention on the central figure. Hanula's skill in capturing the subtle details of the human form, including the contours of the face and the texture of the hair, creates a captivating study of human anatomy. The painting's realism and intimate portrayal of the subject demonstrate Hanula's ability to capture the essence of human expression.
